Whether you want to talk about it or not, potty training is a huge milestone and one that parents can’t afford to treat lightly. We know as a parent we are all dreaming of the day when our kids will finally be diaper free and there will be no need to spend a small fortune on diapers every month. Yes, that day will come and soon! So whatever strategy you want to use to potty train your child, remember one of the first few steps should be to read and explain to your child about what it all means. And before you are swallowed by a small mountain of potty training books (yes, there are that many!) we tell you the ones that actually work to get the job done.
